Oregon, whimsical paradise of the Pacific Northwest, is known for its
lush landscapes of forests and mountains. But you don't have to go all
the way into the backcountry to experience what the state has to offer.
In Urban Hikes Oregon you'll hit the trail to discover the landmarks and
hotspots that shape the state's cities and towns. From arboretum trails
to picturesque waterfront walks, this guide explores the 40 best urban
hiking trails throughout the state. This guide covers hikes accessible
from Cannon Beach, Lincoln City, Portland, Salem, Eugene, Hood River,
Bend and, Ashland. Drawing on his extensive travel knowledge of the
state, author Adam Sawyer curates a guide to not only family-friendly
footpaths, but to the state's culinary and gastronomic delights. Take in
the sites along the Portland River Walk, marvel at the offshore
monoliths at Cannon Beach, or brewery-hop after a stroll through
downtown Eugene. Each hike includes trail GPS coordinates and waypoints,
detailed hike descriptions, maps, and easy-to-find trailhead directions,
along with excellent color photos and travel tips. Hit the trail (or the
pavement) and explore Oregon!
